Veterans' Day

We celebrated Veterans' Day this week and I was impressed with the nice job the elementary school did in teaching the children about it; even the gym teacher gave a lesson about it and showed the children the dog tags he wears from his brother and father. At the daily morning assembly on Monday, the principal asked "What is a veteran?". One child raised his hand and said, "A morning person?"

And so, to all you veterans:

Thank you for getting up so early and working so hard to keep our country safe and free these many years.
